As you may have guessed from my post yesterday for Project Food Blog’s second challenge, I’m still a contestant in Foodbuzz’s competition to find the Next Food Blog Star. Thanks so much to everyone who supported me in the first round!

I sincerely hope that all of you — and ideally your friends, extended families, and whoever else you can recruit — would be so kind as to vote again this week, so that I’ll advance again to the next challenge. Here’s a teaser for you: Up next is hosting a Luxury Dinner Party for a group of friends, which is basically my favorite thing to do. If I make it that far, I promise to pull out all the stops and show off some true Mississippi hospitality.
